NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose on Wall Street yesterday after U.S. corporate-earnings reports got
off to a good start.

The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 61.66 points to 13,390.51, its first gain of the week.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained 3.87 points to 1,461.02, and the Nasdaq composite rose
14 to 3,105.81.

Aluminum-maker Alcoa reported after Tuesday’s trading that it swung to a profit in the fourth
quarter; its earnings met Wall Street’s expectations.

Yesterday, Boeing was the biggest gainer of the 30 stocks in the Dow. It jumped 3.5 percent, up
$2.63 to $76.76, after two days of sharp declines triggered by new problems for its 787 Dreamliner.
Boeing said it has “extreme confidence” in the plane even as federal investigators try to determine
the cause of a fire aboard an empty Japan Airlines plane in Boston on Monday and a fuel leak on
another JAL 787 on Tuesday.
